Measurable statements will stand out. They can make your content believable and they help to create a clear picture for the employer.
You could use:
- Dollar figures – e.g. “What size budget did you manage?”
- Numbers – e.g. “How many people did you supervise?”
- Percentages – e.g. “What was your average grade?”
- Timelines – e.g. “How many days, hours, years?”
You will notice that the second bullet point below has more of an impact.
- Sent out agendas
- Distributed draft agendas to 20 board members, two days in advance of each meeting
Note: Although you can break “grammatical rules” on a résumé, in most cases, whole numbers smaller than ten, are written out. (E.g. you would write seven rather than 7.)
